- After P. C. Gordon is murdered and robbed of a diamond ring that he bought as a birthday present for his wife, one of the thieves, C. Dates, is apprehended. A woman prosecuting attorney makes a compelling case against him, and he is given a ten-year penitentiary sentence. Dates escapes and heads for the vacant lot where he buried the ring. Meanwhile, a boy playing in the lot digs up the ring and gives it to his older brother, Guy Braxton, a prosperous dry goods merchant. Guy shows it to William Jackson, an unscrupulous lawyer. When Pauline Keith, Jackson's young stenographer, learns of Jackson's scheme to steal the diamond, which also involves her own father and a woman named Flora Fulton, she begins to investigate.
